After the ground intended for tur nip.

Tho -turnip* nro aown in drill*, both a* being baiter lor the turnip crop than when Own broadcast, and the land* are got betterClcaned, either from annual or perennial weed*. It i? reckoned an adventage, to hare the lime got forward during the cummer, proviouv to ils being laid on for turnipa; for eft a turnip form, (hero is eh much spring labor, that it it hardly possible to drive any considerable quantity of lime, from any distance, at that season Of the year. When it ia new froin the ktM, it is so hot that it i? apt to dry up thp moisture necessary Tor bringing Iho i turnips into leaf; in thia cnw, tho lime t ought to be laid on a piece of very dry / ground, in large heap*, and thown up'to n considerable thickness, which will oiako it in a ftne atate for laying on in the ithring, that is, neither in a tret, or in a very hot state. In regard to green crop*, Mr. Pntersnt, of Coatlo-Huetjy thinks it better to lay on the time after the green crop, rat (tor than before h, so at it may he well mixed with the soil, before it comes in contact whh potatoes or other roots, it being apt to burn and blister their skins, and to spoil tkeir nppearanco, if it does no more mischief. 8oine farmers, however have il. t ? i? : y#ui miihs u|iyu u^ srminu oner 11 in pin hi* i id with potatoes, end harrowed it in.

It may bo applied after the land has been a summer in pasture, ' or cat for hay ; but the ground should be made as bare as possible, otherwise it will he difficult to spread it equally over the sward or surface. The lime should be laid en in autuyin, and the land should remain in grass for another season, till it is absorbed.

Nr. Barclay remarks, that when the application ie mode, the land hould not be teo wet; and it is neceaoa* ry, at all times, to have tbe limo brought to such order, as neither to Ay off wilh the '* wind, nor go into clods in the aproading. ; Mr. firodio of Ciarrskl ?bperves, that anmo speculative ngriculturiate recom. mend Inningupea the surface, to extirpate the heath, and improve the pasturago, without attempting to bring ground under tha plough, an the soil and climate may bo unfit for the raising of grain, if the lime is at any nanoiderabtn distance, there is reason to suspect that this would not turn sat a profitable concern.

But the e: panso is well bestowed, wcro it only f< the benefit thence to be derived in t! cultivetion of green crops of every de cription. For though auch crops can I raised by targe quantities of dung, y where calcareous substances are appbe M Mr. Brodie of Garvald has found I long experience, a less quvniiiv of annii manuro will answer tlio purpose. This making the farm-yard dung go furthc with more powcrlul and more permnuei effects; and from weightier crops boin thua ruined, ihe quantity of manure on farm will be must materially augmeiilut ,7. The use of pounded Inueston wliuro fuel in scarce or dear, was strong recommended by Lar'd Karnes. Ho o serve*, Hint three pounds of raw lime is, I; burning, reduced to two pounds ofsitell liu (hough nothing is o.x|>oiled hy*the tire bi the air that was in Ihe limestone Ihocs careout rntth remains ontire. T? pounds of shell, bmc, therefore, contuii a's much calcareous earth as three poum of rhw limestone. Shell lime of the be quality, when slacked with water, w measure out thrice t ho quantity: but i limestone loses none of its bulk by bcin burnt into sliids, it follows, that thr< bushels of raw limestone, contain us inuc calcancous earth, as six bushels of pov dered lime; nnd consequeutly if powde ed lime possess not smite virtue above rn lime, three bushels ef the latter, beat sma, should eqiuil, as n manure, mix bushels < the former. These suggestions, liowove have not been ucted upon, probably own to the difficulty and expense ot bnulir the lime sufficiently small.

The rcaso probably, is this, that the land having bet so often manured with Edinburgh stret dung, which frequently contain a prnpn lion of shells, tho use of stone lime tn?rcny superseded. indued, soiiio nre opinion, that the land in the iinincdm vicinity of Edinburgh had been nbundtu ly limed at aoine former |?eriod, which, addition to the calcareous mailer nriixi with the atrect.dung, renders any adc tional liming unavailing.
